120 - Dogen's Four Ways Bodhisattvas Embrace Living Beings - Part 5 - Identity Action

The Zen Studies Podcast

I finish up our study of Zen master Dogen's essay "Four Ways Bodhisattvas Embrace Living Beings" with a discussion of "identity action," or "being in the same boat" with living beings. Even if you're not a big fan of Zen texts, or of Dogen, I hope you'll listen; this episode is on the importance of a bodhisattva – the importance of any of us – making a practice of seeing ourselves as "being in the same boat" with other beings. Can you imagine how different our societies would be if we all tried to do this?
